Can love influence them?

Several people were halfway along the journey.

"Sir, did you feel the earthquake just now?" a supervisor asked cautiously.

"Oh, just now, nothing happened."

Xuan Yangzi replied calmly and asked:

"What happened? Are there any casualties?"

"No, the earthquake was not big and it went away quickly. No one was injured."

"That's good."

Conversation room.

Xuan Yangzi followed the supervisor and flew over the mine warehouse.

Countless gray warehouses with pointed roofs, neatly arranged in rectangles, are located not far from the mining area.

Xuan Yangzi roughly counted and found that there were 700 warehouses in total.

Among them, 400 warehouses have large plaques with the word "Public" hung on them.

At this moment, many common people were pushing mining carts, delivering cart after cart of earth spirit jade into the warehouse.

"Except for the public spiritual jade that must be handed in, the rest of the spiritual jade output from the mine is controlled by the commander-in-chief himself."

The supervisors pointed to the "public" warehouse and introduced:

"After paying the public taxes, the commander-in-chief of the spiritual jade stones in other warehouses can keep as much as he wants and sell them or exchange them for other things."

"Oh? So, all the 300 warehouses of spiritual jade stones are mine?"

Xuan Yangzi looked at the supervisors and said:

“Do you get paid?”

"That's what your Excellency said."

The supervisor smiled and said:

"As long as you can give me some leftovers, it will be fine. Besides, I don't think you can use up all the 300 warehouses, right?"

"I have to see first."

Xuan Yangzi turned his head and fell down.

Seeing this, the supervisors also landed and followed Xuan Yangzi closely.

After they landed, they attracted the attention of the people nearby, but they soon returned to their own business.

Xuan Yangzi found a bloodstained little boy pushing a mine cart with difficulty.

The little boy's back was covered with scars and festering wounds. He was sweating profusely and pushing the mine cart with gritted teeth.

Suddenly, he lost all his strength and collapsed backwards onto the ground.

The mine cart tilted and fell directly in front of the boy. The boy was unable to lift himself up and could only gasp for air.

When the other common people saw this, they all just took a look, then ignored the boy and walked around him to enter the warehouse.

"Sir, do you want to teach this boy a lesson? He doesn't work hard enough!" The supervisor said with a flattering look on his face, holding his whip tightly.

Xuan Yangzi looked at him with disdain and said:

"No need, go aside."

The supervisors were afraid of offending Xuan Yangzi, so even though they didn't understand Xuan Yangzi's intention, they could only stand aside and watch Xuan Yangzi.

Xuan Yangzi walked forward, squatted down, handed the little boy a pill and said:

"If you eat this, it may not cure your skin disease, but it can sustain your life."

The little boy took the pill tremblingly, looked at Xuan Yangzi carefully, and swallowed.

Finally, he couldn't resist the medicinal aroma of the pill, put it into his mouth, and swallowed it with a gulp.

"Good boy."

Xuan Yangzi stood up, kicked the mine cart, and stomped his feet again, shaking away the scattered spiritual jade stones on the ground.

The mine cart stood upright, and all the spiritual jade stones in the sky fell into it.

"Do you have strength now?" Xuan Yangzi turned his head and looked at the little boy and asked.

The little boy clenched his fists, and was pleasantly surprised to find that he was full of strength. He nodded vigorously and said:

"Have!"

"Okay, these spiritual jade stones are all yours."

Xuan Yangzi pointed at the mine cart, then turned to the supervisors not far away and said:

"Come here for a moment!"

The supervisors immediately ran over, stood at attention and said:

"Sir, what are your orders?"

"This cart of spiritual jade stones belongs to this kid."

Xuan Yangzi pointed at the little boy and said:

"In addition, all the spiritual jade stones dug by child laborers under the age of ten will belong to them and no longer need to be sent to my warehouse."

"what?"

The supervisors were so shocked that their eyes almost popped out of their heads. They looked at Xuan Yangzi and then at the little boy next to them.

"This..." The supervisors hesitated.

"Aren't you the overseers?"

Xuan Yangzi said coldly:

"I'll leave this matter to you to supervise. If I find out that you bully child laborers, secretly withhold their spiritual jade stones, or sit back and watch other adults snatch them, I will definitely kill you!"

"Yes, my lord!"

The supervisors immediately stood up straight, raised their heads and said:

"We understand! From now on, all the spiritual jade produced by child laborers under the age of ten will belong to them. We will definitely ensure this!"

"That's pretty much it."

Xuan Yangzi nodded, then took out a beginner's manual from his sleeve and handed it to the little boy, saying:

"Take this book for yourself. It's up to you to understand how much you can understand."

"After I have dealt with the trivial matters in Yucheng, you and the other children can follow me back to the Taoist temple if you are interested."

Xuan Yangzi touched the little boy's head and said:

"Be my apprentice in the future. It will be better than mining here."

When the supervisors heard this, they thought:

Could it be that the new commander-in-chief decided to cultivate his own power among the common people in order to counter other families?

So that's why it's necessary to benefit these child laborers.

"Thank you, big brother." The little boy bowed his head timidly in thanks.

"You're welcome." Xuan Yangzi said with a smile.

The little boy flipped through the book, not quite understanding what was said, then looked up and said:

"But, big brother, I can't read. I can't understand a single word on it."

"what?"

Xuan Yangzi's hands froze, he took the book, flipped through it, then closed it, his face stiff, and said:

"In that case, you should keep the spiritual jade stone first. You will need it in the future. I will teach you how to read."

"Yeah." The little boy nodded.

"Hey, let me ask you."

Xuan Yangzi turned around and pointed at the white clothes on his body and said to the supervisors:

“How much does this protective suit cost?”

"Your Excellency, a set of protective clothing costs three coins of spiritual jade." The supervisors pointed upward.

"Okay, go and purchase these protective suits in bulk."

Xuan Yangzi pointed at the little boy and said:

"Give every child worker this suit to protect their skin from the erosion of the mines."

"Yes, sir!" the supervisors said without hesitation.

"Brother, you are so kind."

The little boy blinked his eyes and smiled:

"Are you our new master?"

"No."

Xuan Yangzi shook his head and said:

"You can call me Master. From now on, you and the other children will be my disciples."

"Oh."

The little boy blinked and asked again:

"Master, then can my parents be your disciples?"

"Well..."

Xuan Yangzi sighed and said:

"Jade City needs to hand over 400 warehouses of spiritual jade stones. I can't do anything about this part. Your parents still have to work hard. I can only free you first."

"Oh..." The little boy lowered his head in disappointment.

"Practice well in the future."

Xuan Yangzi touched the little boy's head and comforted him:

"If I become stronger, I won't have to make my parents suffer anymore, and I'll live a good life."

"Yes, Master." The little boy nodded sensibly.

"Very obedient." Xuan Yangzi said with relief.

Chapter 83

After Xuan Yangzi emptied 300 warehouses of the spiritual jade stones, he designated these 140 empty warehouses as the storage place for the spiritual jade stones mined by the child laborers.

There are a total of 140 child laborers in the mine, and these 140 warehouses are more than enough to store the spiritual jade stones they dig.

"Don't steal or rob others." Xuan Yangzi reminded sternly.

The child laborers knew that they were about to become Xuan Yangzi's disciples, so they nodded vigorously and worked hard to dig spiritual jade stones, waiting to soar into the sky in the future.

Xuan Yangzi gave the supervisors a few more instructions, and then left behind a few water mirrors to record the video.

After dealing with the mining matters.

Xuan Yangzi decided to purchase medicinal materials and make a raw meat pool.

Strange to say.

The purchase went extremely smoothly, and these precious medicinal materials seemed to be available everywhere in Yucheng.

Xuan Yangzi was a little surprised that he had collected all the medicinal materials for making the raw meat pool so casually.

"No wonder so many people stay in Yucheng, the material resources are indeed developed." Xuan Yangzi touched his Qiankun sleeve and couldn't help but sigh.

Xuan Yangzi also purchased a bunch of water mirrors and sound transmission stones, as well as some cultivation techniques suitable for beginners.

After all these purchases, not even an entire warehouse's worth of spiritual jade stones were consumed. The position of the commander-in-chief was indeed lucrative.
